Portland Takes Out Ad In New York Times To Defend Itself: ‘We’ve Always Been Like This’

Amid all of the negative press that Portland, Oregon, has received over the past few years due to the lawlessness of left-wing violence group Antifa, the city funded a full-page ad in The New York Times on Sunday that appears to take pride in the issues underpinning the city’s negative reputation.

“You’ve heard a lot about us lately. It’s been a while since you heard from us. Some of what you’ve heard about Portland is true. Some is not. What matters most is that we’re true to ourselves,” the ad began.
